Testimonials

Our children attended Educare in Mississauga for about 3 years, and we were thrilled with the care they received while they were there. They had attended a few different daycares over the years as we moved around, and this one was by far the best. As we got to know the teachers, we found that this was more than just a job for them. They really took great care of the children, and treated them as if they were their own. At they end of the 3 years, they were almost part of our family. They encouraged the kids with fun and challenging activities. They kept us up-to-date on how the kids were doing. The food they provided was healthy and prepared fresh on-site. Both of our children learned a huge amount while they were there, and made some great friends. We would definitely recommend Educare to any parents who are looking for a fun and caring environment for their children.David B.

My son has been enrolled at Educare Children’s Centre since September of 2007. He started in the toddler room, progressing through the pre-school, kindergarten and now finally in the school age room. When looking for a daycare, I called and went and looked at several in the area. When I walked into Educare, I realized I had found the place that was to assist me in raising my child. The staff were happy, and very personable, and took an interest in my son, and myself. They were eager to show us around, introducing us to people along the way. I had the opportunity to view how other children in the room interacted and how the staff interacted with the kids. I was very impressed. It mattered a great deal to me who would assist me in raising my child as I wanted him in an environment that was safe, and provided nurturing and caring for all, and the opportunities to experiment and grow. The daycare holds the same values that I have, and in turn try to instill them into the children’s everyday environment. They are asked to be respectful of others, be honest, and are surrounded by staff that emulate that behaviour and remind the kids to do the same.

My son loves being at the centre, and when he misses a day, he misses his friends. I love the support the teachers provide, and the summer trips that are organized for the kids which are age appropriate.I highly recommend Educare Children’s Centre, and have on many occasions. I’ve even posted it on my work’s webboard. Think about it, you are entrusting your most precious gift to the centre, and in actuality, they are the people that are helping raise your child. You wouldn’t hand them over to just anyone, I feel like the staff are our extended family, and I love them.

My daughter has attended Educare Children’s Centre since July 2002. As a single parent, the most difficult thing I have ever had to do was to make the decision to get back to work while my young child was still very small. My worst fear as a mother was not being there to actively raise my child on a daily basis and instil and teach the values I hold true in my family. Making the phone calls to every daycare in the phone book, I was immediately impressed by Educare’s positive attitude and willingness to make the whole process very easy. They were willing to meet within an hour, and show Mackenzie around so that she and I could inspect the whole facility, and meet the staff members. The moment we stepped in the door, I knew this was the place for my daughter. The children there were so happy and well adjusted; I knew from the get-go that this was how I wanted my daughter to feel while I was at work. Being that Mackenzie was being raised by a single parent, she had developed some issues with separation anxiety. The staff members at Educare were so kind and warm-hearted. To my amazement Mackenzie developed close relationships with the staff faster than I could have ever dreamt. It is the most wonderful feeling I have ever experienced - to walk in the door with my daughter in the morning and have all of the children say in unison, "Mackenzie’s here! Hi Mackenzie!" I found the staff is consistently AMAZING. It was very refreshing to be able to drop my child off at the centre and see her face light up with glee because she was truly happy to be there. The staff over all is friendly, warm and caring and provided a nurturing educational environment were my daughter was able to thrive. My daughter most enjoyed the field trips that she was provided. As a parent I most appreciated the growth and development I noticed in my daughter as she was continually provided opportunities to learn new things. I would absolutely recommend Educare childcare to any family with young children and I know I will keep in touch with some of the staff at Educare for years to come!

My husband and I had to put our son into daycare for the first time at 1.5 yrs old. Needless to say I was super nervous to leave my baby with strangers and toured every daycare within a reasonable radius of our house. After visiting Educare Children's Centre I knew that was the place for my son. It had a family feeling and the intimate environment was perfect for a little guy who was used to just hanging out at home with mom all day!

Educare let us ease into full time daycare slowly and provided my son the comfort and fun that he needed. It wasn't long before he was asking about the caregivers on the weekend and requesting to go and play with his "friends". It warms my heart that Educare treated my son as I would treat him and I couldn't have been happier to take him to daycare each day knowing that he would play and make crafts and learn new things.

Thanks to everyone at Educare Children's Centre for treating us like family and making my family's first daycare experience such a wonderful and memorable one! Jen, Max and Larsen!

A quick note to share our thanks and appreciation for the outstanding care that my daughter receives, and has received over the past 3 years at EDUCARE. Seeing her run into her teachers arm's in the mornings is a beautiful thing…….and at Educare, I see it happen every day! I remember the early days and having to drop her off.......she never complained. She'll soon be off to SK, and I know if given the choice, Madi would choose Educare over school. It makes my day when she tells us about her day at the dinner table. I know she enjoys all the activities. but I'd say using the splash pad everyday has been her favourite. Please pass our appreciation on to ALL the staff; as they have all helped to make her the great kid she is today.Sincerely,Dave M.

I have had my child attending Educare Children’s Centre since June 2010. I had been familiar with Educare in previous years and finally got an opportunity to take a tour. I spoke with the staff at Educare Children’s Centre, and knew from there that my child was going to be in great hands.I have since been impressed with the cleanliness of Educare as well as the food menu choices, as they keep in mind to freshness, variety and food allergies.They pay great attention to the growing minds of all the children by always buying new toys, games and books. Physical activity in all weather conditions is a highlight to my child’s day. The children are always happy and the staff is always keeping me informed to upcoming events and/or activities they have planned. I would recommend Educare Children’s Centre to any parent who is looking for a caring, clean, calm and educating environment for the care of their child or children.Sincerely,Roxanne J.

This has been a very long time coming but I had been meaning to write something to express to the other parents out there just how appreciative I was with your care at the Centre for my little Joseph. I just want the world to know about how wonderful Educare is for children.

As you know, I was very hesitant about enrolling Joseph in daycare, but you and your staff knew just how to comfort me. You were all wonderful and patient with me from answering my daily phone calls to check-in on Joseph to having available daily written and verbal updates on his day and progress. I will never forget how he learned to walk with you!! He started with you in July 2010 until we moved to Richmond Hill in January 2011. The move was the only reason why I had to pull him out of Educare. You have an exceptional group of teachers and assistants. I need to make special mention to Miss. Dayna and Miss. Kalyani. They were great with Joseph; so caring and loving. Joseph loved daycare! I noticed changes in Joseph's vocabulary almost immediately. He learned to share with other children and he was happy. All of these things made me extremely happy as well, knowing that he was in good hands and that he was thriving. I will also never forget how wonderful it smelled in there the moment I walked in! I felt like I was in someone's home, awaiting a homemade cooked meal.

Anyhow, as much as it saddened me to have to leave Educare, the memories will remain as will the "mark" you left on me and Joseph. You were his first learning experience. You will never be forgotten. I just cannot say enough about your Centre...I just want everyone else to know!Truly,Jennifer
